This was the first of 5 races in the Western Kentucky State Park Running Series. All but one of them are really hilly courses and two of them are ran at night. I looked down at my Garmin when I got through and thought they must have messed up on laying the course out but it was me and three other runners that had messed up. We made a wrong turn at the top of a hill that went back in this little cul-de-sac then came right back out on the course again. With the exception of adding some time it didn't affect our finishing postions any. I'm really not to disappointed with my time, with the course being so hilly, plus getting off course and it being so humid you could cut the air with a knife I'll take the second place finish. I feel like my time would have been real close to 20 even if we hadn't made the wrong turn.

Excellent performance and a win even with the extra miles and less than perfect condition. Good job, Ronnie!!!

Thanks Smooth you're so nice. These are really small races and a lot of fun. You get to meet so many people because they are so laid back and relaxed.

Not sure how I missed this race but I did.

Good job on a hard course.

BTW...Now you're living in my world running the wrong way. :-(

IJR,That's only the second time that's happen and Hopefully the last. It really didn't make a difference in anything but the time which I wasn't really proud of but I'll take it.
